That never works....every time you go some place that has chickens you will find yourself acquiring more and more

I've been debating on getting either Orps or Wyandottes but was more interested in blues. Are these lavs the only orps you have?

I'm hoping to find some bantam breeders that I can purchase eggs from next Spring.

How does moving with chickens work? Do you bring your flock with you? Rehome them first? Rehome most and just bring favorites? Do tell!

Is there possibly some local Gold Spangled Hamburg's to be had?

When we moved from MI 3yrs ago we loaded about 34 pullets and 6 roos (they were about 3 months old) in the back of the pickup (with topper) and drove them down. We made sure they had water at each stop and feed them before we left and when we stoped for the night. They all made it fine. The only issue was cleaning the truck. It was not first priority as we had the moving van to unload and my daughter had to start school in 3 days so it sat for about 4 days before we got in washed out

Lots of scrubbing since everything was dried on at that point.

Does anyone have any Silkies around 4 months old for sale or trade nearby?
